The prestigious ARIAs are the flagship event on the Australian music calendar.

Representing the pinnacle of music success, the year’s best and most popular acts are recognised in front of their peers and fans.

John Farnham, Crowded House and INXS were among the original winners in 1987, and since then the ARIAs have continued to forge careers and play host to countless memorable moments.

This year will be no different, as the best local talent plus international superstars take the stage for the 34th annual ARIA Awards.

The ARIA Awards are produced by ZigZag TV for Nine.
